more evidence of Aotearoa's pre-Maori people

thanks to the homie big Navs for sending me this link, he's heard the legends from his father and we're starting to hear that Iwi all around the country have stories about these people...

quote from that link: "Pakepakehā is another word for patupaiarehe. It may have given rise to the term Pākehā (a New Zealander of European descent). To Māori, Europeans resembled the pakepakehā or patupaiarehe, with their fair skin and light-coloured hair."
